Definitions

  • This invention relates to a liquid pump dispenser having a minimum of constituent parts and including a stationary spout, a stationary piston, container venting and pump priming features, and an inlet/discharge valve housing. More particularly, such dispenser is of the throttle pump variety having a positive leakproof vent control.
  • a liquid pump dispenser disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,402,432 having a pump priming feature and a positive container vent control for a pump of the pressure built-up variety having a reciprocable plunger defining a variable volume pump chamber with a fixed piston, and requiring a plunger head slidable relative to the plunger for controlling the discharge in response to accumulation of pressure within the pump chamber.
  • the discharge passage reciprocates with the plunger head.
  • This invention provides a liquid pump dispenser comprising a pump body mountable in a fluid tight manner to a container of a flowable product to be dispensed, the pump body having a relatively reciprocable piston/cylinder-arrangement defining a variable volume pump chamber having a valve controlled inlet within the body, and a stationary spout on said pump body defining a discharge passage from said pump chamber; wherein the pump body has an upstanding stationary pump piston, a manually reciprocable spring biased plunger head has a plunger skirt in sealing engagement with said piston, said skirt providing a cylinder defining with the piston the variable volume pump chamber, a discharge valve acts between said pump chamber and said discharge passage, an annular sleeve on the body surrounds said piston in spaced relationship therewith and defines a vent chamber openable to the atmosphere, the body has means defining a vent passage extending from said vent chamber into the container, an annular vent seal on said plunger skirt is in sealing engagement with an inner wall of said sleeve for sealing said vent chamber closed in an upper position of
  • the pump dispenser may have a pump chamber priming feature, and a combined inlet valve and discharge valve housing located within the valve body for defining the valve control inlet and the discharge valving.
  • the pump dispenser according to the invention is generally designated 10 in Figures 1 and 2 and is of the throttle pump variety given that once primed, product under pressure is discharged from the pump chamber upon plunger reciprocation via an open discharge valve without reliance on pressure build-up causing plunger shifting to open the discharge.
  • the dispenser comprises a pump body 11 which includes a closure cap 12 for threading onto the neck of a container (not shown) of flowable product to be dispensed.
  • the cap may, of course, be otherwise snapped into place onto the container neck.
  • the pump body further includes a part 13 fixed as at 14 to the closure cap and having a transversely extending stationary spout 15 defining a discharge passage 16 terminating in a discharge orifice 17 located in a conventional orifice cup 18.
  • Part 13 further includes a fixed upstanding piston 19, and a surrounding annular sleeve 21 spaced from the piston to therewith define an annular vent chamber 22.
  • the vent chamber communicates with the interior of the container via a vent opening 23 located in part 13 and a vent opening 24 located in transverse wall 25 of the closure cap.
  • a plunger head 26 has a finger engageable crown 27 and is mounted on part 13 for axial reciprocation against the force of a coil return spring 28 extending between the underside of crown 27 and a transverse wall 29 of part 13.
  • the plunger has a depending plunger skirt 31 sealingly mounted on piston seal 20 of the piston for therewith defining a variable volume pump chamber 32.
  • the plunger skirt terminates in an annular deformable vent seal 33 in sealing engagement with inner wall 34 of sleeve 21.
  • the plunger has an outer skirt 35 terminating in a stop shoulder or rib 36 cooperating with a mating stop shoulder or rib 37 on a shroud cover 38 fixed to the pump body as at 39. Upward movement of the plunger head is therefore positively limited by the interengagement of ribs 36 and 37 which are designed not to sealingly engage but to provide communication between the atmosphere and the underside of the plunger head.
  • Vent chamber 22 when opened, communicates with the atmosphere via ribs 36 and 37.
  • vent seal 33 sealingly engages wall 34 of sleeve 21.
  • vent seal 33 contacts a vent rib 41 located on wall 34 near the bottom of the vent chamber.
  • the vent seal is deformed inwardly such that its seal with wall 34 is broken, thereby opening the vent chamber from the atmoshpere into the interior of the container to thereby replenish the dispensed product with air to avoid hydraulic lock and container collapse during the pump pressure stroke.
  • a priming rib 42 is located on inner wall 43 of plunger skirt 31 near the upper end thereof. Any accummulated air in pump chamber 28 is thus expelled during the initial downstroke or downstrokes of the plunger as priming rib 42 contacts resilient piston seal 20 on the piston thereby causing the piston seal to deform to establish communication with vent chamber 22.
  • vent seal 33 is deformed by vent rib 41 such that any unwanted air is purged from the pump chamber either to the atmosphere via the vent chamber or into the container via vent openings 23 and 24.
  • a combined inlet and discharge valve housing 45 is disposed within the pump body and is connected to wall 25 as at 46.
  • the housing includes an inlet valve seat 47 and an inlet ball check valve 48 engaging the seat.
  • the housing suspends a dip tube 49 extending into the container, and has tiny projections 51 defining a ball cage for the inlet valve.
  • a discharge valve 52 Located between the pump chamber and discharge passage 16 is a discharge valve 52 in the form of a deformable annular valve seal in sealing engagement with a circular valve seat 53 defining an inner wall of the pump body into which discharge passage 16 terminates.
  • the discharge valve may be secured to or otherwise made integral with housing 45 and may be located at or near the upper end of the housing.
  • the discharge valve seal inwardly deforms radially in response to an increase in pressure within the pump chamber during plunger reciprocation to thereby open the discharge for expelling product under pressure through the discharge passage.
  • vent rib is disclosed as a means for breaking the vent seal
  • other means could be provided within the scope of the invention.
  • a vent groove could be provided, a vent opening could be devised such that the vent seal is caused to slide therealong, or the lower end of wall 34 could have an enlarged diameter.
  • vent groove could be substituted for priming rib 42 without departing from the invention.
  • inlet valves other than a ball check valve could be provided within the scope of the invention.
